Elizabeth Spillius and Edna O'shaughnessy wish to express their thanks, first, to all the authors whose contributions make up this volume. Second, we are grateful to the Melanie Klein Trust both for their general encouragement and also for their financial help which enabled us to employ Sophie Boswell and Jessica Brighty, our first two Editorial Assistants, and later to seek the help of Elizabeth Allison who saw the book through to its conclusion with meticulous editing and energy. Our thanks are also due to John Churcher for valuable assistance, to Richard Rusbridger for helpful advice throughout, to Dana Birksted-Breen as Editor of the New Library, and to the three anonymous readers of our earlier manuscript.
